Selected with the number one pick in the 2022 AFL Draft, Cadman has quickly established himself as a young star of the competition. Blessed with elite athleticism for his size and a great pair of hands, Cadman showed glimpses of his star potential across his first two seasons before a brilliant 2025 campaign saw him cement himself as one of the league’s best young talents. Seen by many as the future of the GIANTS forward line, Cadman’s strong athletic profile allows him to play as either a deep forward or roaming further up the ground. After playing 12 games in his debut season in 2023, Cadman took his game to another level in his second season, playing 23 games and kicking 30 goals to cement himself as a key piece of the GIANTS’ attack. Cadman then took his game to even greater heights in 2025, establishing himself as one of the league’s best young key forwards in a breakout campaign that featured match-winning performances against the likes of Geelong and Brisbane. Cadman finished the 2025 season with 44 goals to cement his standing as one of the league’s future superstars.
